The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday formed an eight-member infrastructure monitoring committee to accelerate implementation of infrastructure and development projects on a priority basis. With infrastructure and industrial development commissioner (IIDC) and principal secretaries of different departments as members, this top-level panel led by the state chief secretary will meet every month.

According to the UP industry department, the panel will not only review implementation of infrastructure projects, but will also mitigate bottlenecks by synchronising functions of various agencies involved.
